Mr Markle Sr also voiced hopes that Queen Elizabeth would step in to fix the situation.

The father-of-three, who is not in touch with Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, did not attend his daughter’s wedding as he was recovering from heart surgery.

He became the subject of controversy after it was revealed that he had staged photographs with the paparazzi in return for money a few days prior to the wedding, something he said he had apologised 100 times for.
